Buy your coffee handblended and help wildlife conservation

The smell of coffee in the morning, is there anything even remotely better ? There are various of coffee types, some are bad, some are good but some manually selected tea leaves and coffee beans are just incredible. All of our coffees are purchased outright whereby a price is paid for the quality. We therefore divorce ourselves from the world coffee market and guarantee to pay a price that covers the cost of production and includes a healthy margin for the farmer which is always at least 20% above the cost of production. When sourcing coffee, quality is generally our first priority but when working with larger estates in Latin America, we feel it is essential to work alongside certifications such as Rainforest Alliance or Utz. These organisations have principles embedded in International Labour law (ILO) which assure us that a great price is not only paid to the farmer but that the benefits of working with a specialty buyer cascade down to all of the farm workers too. Such certifications also include environmental standards designed for the sustainability of agricultural land and its natural eco-systems.

Our tea pick today : Matcha: Of the many different types of tea, Matcha is a little peculiar. You won’t find matcha leaves—this green tea comes as a stone-ground powder, and is so beloved in Japan that there’s a ceremony centered around how to prepare and serve it. If you see green-tea ice cream, that’s derived from matcha. Sencha: Sencha is also one of the most-popular Japanese teas, but it differs from matcha in that it’s served as leaves, not as a powder, and grown in the sunlight (whereas matcha is grown in shaded areas).

Eco friendly coffee tip of the day : Buy From The Right People: Not all coffee roasters treat their craft with the same respect. Some carry very little about their environmental footprint. Some rigidly control their footprint with incredible precision. I encourage you to look into the practices of your local roasters to find which ones are doing a good job of reducing, reusing, and recycling. Support the efforts of those roasters, and put pressure on the others to play their part. For starters, I suggest beginning to use a reusable coffee filter. They eliminate paper waste complete, as well as k-cup waste. It’s easy to use, brews rich and delicious coffee, and will reduce your footprint in a small, yet meaningful way. We are all responsible for our planet and our own footprint. It doesn’t matter whether we drink one or five cups per day, we all play a role.

The Lynch family have always had a love for lemurs. They are quite simply the mascot of our family and now therefore, of our business. They are adorable, curious creatures from Madagscar and need a lot of conservation to help secure their future. Our business donates a percentage of it’s sales to lemur based non-profit organisation(s). Source: https://lynchsbrew.co.uk/.

You may have noticed that our mascot is a lemur, this is simply due to a love the Lynch family has always shared for the animal! A percentage of every single sale we make gets donated to Lemur Love, a NPO which focuses on lemur conservation. Help us conserve today and enjoy our delicious tea and coffee at the same time!
